Aquatic

Iodine smells distinctly mineral and salty—imagine standing on a windswept rocky coastline where seaweed clings to stones. It's crisp and slightly sharp, with an almost metallic tang reminiscent of sea spray mixed with wet stones warmed by sun. There's an ozonic quality, like the air after a coastal storm. It carries a faint, clean brininess without sweetness, evoking the smell of kelp beds exposed at low tide. The effect is simultaneously fresh, cool, and vaguely medicinal—it's the scent of the seaside distilled to its most elemental essence.

Citrus

Lemon is the zesty, almost sharp brightness you experience when you peel a fresh lemon in morning sunlight. Imagine that precise moment when oils burst from the skin—intensely citrusy yet slightly bitter, with an underlying sweetness that catches you off-guard. It's clean and piercing, like biting into the fruit itself, with a crisp acidity that makes your mouth anticipate tartness. There's a subtle green, almost herbal undertone beneath the fruity top note, reminiscent of the plant's leaves and stems.
